Abstract: Secure communications are provided between a user computing device and a server computing device. An enrollment request is received from a user computing device that is configured via a distributed client software application, and is processed. The enrollment request is usable to enroll the user computing device in a network and includes an encrypted partial initial biometric vector associated with a user. An authentication request is processed that is subsequently received that includes an encrypted partial second biometric vector and that is associated with a user of the user computing device. A comparison of the encrypted partial initial biometric vector and the encrypted partial second biometric vector is performed, and a value representing the comparison is generated and transmitted to the user computing device. The user computing device is authenticated where the value is above a minimum threshold.

Title: Image encoding and decoding using pixel adaptive offset process
Inventor: MINEZAWA AKIRA
IPC: H04N19/80
Filed: 2013-04-03
Abstract: A difference image, produced by a difference between an image and a prediction image, is transformed to produce transform coefficients of the difference image. The difference image decoded from compressed data formed by quantizing the transform coefficients and the prediction image to provide a decoded image which is filtered. The compressed data and a filter parameter is encoded. A classification method of a class on each coding block having a largest size is determined. Each pixel within each coding block is classified using the method. An offset value for each class for each coding block is calculated and added to a value of a pixel belonging to a corresponding class. A quantization matrix parameter for generating a quantization matrix to quantize the transform coefficients and an index indicating the classification method are encoded. A parameter of the offset value for each class is encoded using a truncated unary code.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture to improve image recognition searching are disclosed. In some embodiments, a first document image of a known object is used to generate one or more other document images of the same object by applying one or more techniques for synthetically generating images. The synthetically generated images correspond to different variations in conditions under which a potential query image might be captured. Extracted features from an initial image of a known object and features extracted from the one or more synthetically generated images are stored, along with their locations, as part of a common model of the known object. In other embodiments, image recognition search effectiveness is improved by transforming the location of features of multiple images of a same known object into a common coordinate system. This can enhance the accuracy of certain aspects of existing image search/recognition techniques including, for example, geometric verification.

Abstract: Fast recovery electrocardiogram (ECG) signal method and apparatus are provided. In one embodiment, an ECG apparatus includes an input for receiving a biometric cardiogram signal, such as a Wilson Central Terminal (WCT) signal, and a combiner, such as an adder, for producing a compensated signal. An analog to digital converter provides a digitized version of the compensated signal to a processor. The processor produces an ECG reflective of the compensated signal and also outputs a digital signal corresponding to high frequency response of the digitized compensated signal to a digital to analog converter. The digital to analog converter provides an analog version of the digital signal corresponding to high frequency response of the digitized compensated signal to compensate for low response of the biometric cardiogram signal to high frequency spikes. A resultant ECG is produced by the processor having pacing signal contribution within the biometric cardiogram signal cancelled.
